subsea engineering
Subsea engineering is a specialized field that focuses on the design, construction, and maintenance of structures and systems located underwater. This includes underwater pipelines, oil and gas production facilities, and renewable energy installations. Engineers in this field work to ensure that these systems can withstand harsh underwater conditions, such as high pressure and corrosive environments.
The work of subsea engineers often involves collaboration with other disciplines, including marine biology, geotechnical engineering, and environmental science. They use advanced technologies like remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and underwater sensors to monitor and maintain subsea installations, ensuring safety and efficiency in underwater operations.
